Feat. Persunmall, Red Herring and H&M

Hey everyone! I dunno about all of you, but I have been so thankful for my new winter coat this week so far: it has been snowing a little bit in Dublin! Cue girly shrieking of excitement! I have been finding it so impossible to keep warm recently, but my new coat has been making it a lot easier for me. I picked it up in the Debenhams sale (£85 reduced to £25, say what!?) and haven't wanted to take it off since. It's made from a heavy wool and feels like a giant blanket, but is still super sweet with its faux fur collar and swishy box pleats. Navy is also a lovely colour for this time of year, being slightly lighter and more flattering than black. I don't know what it is about this coat, but I kinda feel like Doctor Who when I wear it, which is pretty weird, but also fun!

This shirt was sent to me by the lovely fellows over at Persunmall. What I love most about it is the super on-trend grid pattern print that has been seen all over catwalks and high-street alike. The little doll collar is also a firm favourite of mine (as I'm sure you are all aware at this stage!) which keeps the shirt from looking too masculine. Also, I'm sort of loving the navy-cream colour combination - it's like a warmer-toned version of monochrome. I wore this out to dinner with my family and received lots of compliments, especially about the pattern of the shirt. I don't know what it is about the grid motif (maybe it's its slight similarity to tartan!?), but it is something I've really been loving!
